Chapter 62: Clue Proof
Taiyuan City stands majestically on this piece of yellow earth, on the wall of the city, the soldiers have cold faces, fulfill their duties, their eyes are like goshawks hanging high on the cliff, staring at the crowd There can be abnormal movements between comings and goings.
At this time, the newborn red sun was in front of them, and there were some noisy sounds in the distance, a soldier heard the sound, squinted his eyes, and looked at the source of ultrasound, but he didn't expect to see the figure of his own prince in the distance, not only that, but the prince was followed by a woman.
"Hey, isn't that the prince?" The soldier elbowed his fellow on patrol, poked his probe, and looked into the distance, hoping to confirm again.
"Why did the prince come back at this time, you didn't read it wrong." The other soldier was unimpressed, replied perfunctorily, and continued to work on his own.
Following the soldier's gaze, no matter how good his eyes are, or how strong his strength is, he can clearly see that the person who is surrounded by the crowd is indeed the prince of Taiyuan City-An Zhe.
An Zhe didn't want to disturb the people like this, he originally planned to take Yan Wuling back to the palace directly, but he didn't expect that there was an accident on the way.
Halfway through, I met a thief who stole an old lady's silver bag on the street. It just happened that he and Yan Wuling bumped into him. Yan Wuling saw it, and before An Zhe could say anything, as soon as he raised his hand and cast some occult magic, he threw the thief to the ground. Yan Wuling can be said to hate thieves, in the 21st century, she was stolen, and her ID card was gone, which troubled her for a while.
In this way, a few sharp-eyed and quick-handed people recognized the two. However, the two of them are not idle people, how can they be trapped by the crowd, but in a moment, the two of them got rid of the crowd with a little trick.
When the soldiers on the city wall were still wondering if the man was the prince, they looked at the noisy place and found that the people had gone to the empty building, and the people gathered were scattered.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Just when the soldiers doubted themselves, the clear voice of the goalkeeper came out of the city. An Zhe let go of the hand holding Yan Wuling's wrist, and just pulled her out of the crowd, now that he was out of trouble, he had no reason to hold it.
However, the delicate touch left on his hand made An Zhe stunned for a moment, he didn't even listen to what the goalkeeper said, nodded, and entered the palace of Taiyuan City with Yan Wuling one after another.
Although the palace is large, it is only a palace, and there are many people who report the news, not to mention, the palace is the most important place to be well-informed people.
No, not long after An Zhe and Yan Wuling walked into the palace, An Yuan, who was in the palace, received the news that the two of them had returned to the palace. An Yuan was holding the dragon whisker crisp in his hand, and there was originally more than half of it left, and as soon as he heard the news, he was so happy that he almost threw the dragon whisker crisp out.
The dragon whisker crisp was not thrown out, An Yuan liked this pastry very much, and she was not willing to throw it, she really wanted to go out to meet An Zhe and the two, she looked at the dragon whisker crisp in her hand, raised her hand and sent the rest into her mouth, since she was not willing to waste food, and wanted to go out to greet the two, then she had to temporarily sacrifice her image.
An Yuan swallowed the pastry in a few bites, and the little maid next to him saw it, hurriedly brought a glass of water and handed it over, and muttered in her mouth: "I knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was so excited, I would wait for you to finish eating this piece of dragon whisker cake, and then report this matter to you." ”
"No, no, no, you're doing a great job." An Yuan took a sip of water, she didn't choke herself, she patted her chest, smooth, smiled, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes really smiled, no less than the delicate flowers in the back garden.
An Yuan cleaned herself up a little and went to see An Zhe, she was not only excited to see An Zhe and Yan Wuling, but also had some selfishness in it.
An Yuan grew up in the palace compound at a young age, and rarely had the opportunity to go out, although the palace was good, it was really lonely, it was really monotonous and boring, even if the flowers in the palace were beautiful, it was really boring for her to be the only one to appreciate. Since the last time she went out, she had seen the excitement and richness of the outside world, and had seen all kinds of people who were different from those in the palace.
An Zhe's return this time may be a good opportunity for him to go out, and maybe, An Zhe and they came back this time to pick him up?
An Yuan walked on the delicate stone path paved in the palace, following the path she guessed An Zhe would take, walked for a while, and when she turned the corner, she saw the two people walking towards her.
"Brother Huang!" An Yuan saw the two of them, her pupils dilated suddenly, her eyes blinked smartly, and they bent into the shape of a crescent moon, which was as bright as the moon, she turned her eyes to look at Yan Wuling again, and called sweetly: "Sister Ling!" ”
"An Yuan," An Zhe stepped forward and said, "Why are you here, you girl, you are really clever." He stepped forward and gently flicked An Yuan's head.
"Oh, I didn't miss you anymore, I heard that you came back, where did I stay in the room." An Yuan spoke to An Zhe, looked at Yan Wuling with his eyes, and expressed his flattery.
An Zhe is too familiar with An Yuan, as soon as this kid talks and does things like this, he must have some small abacus in his heart, and now he is beating eighty percent.
An Zhe hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not poke her directly, he smiled, and his eyebrows revealed a bit of elegance, and his speech was as warm as jade, "In this way, don't stand here and say it." ”
He looked at Yan Wuling, then turned his head to An Yuan and said, "We came all the way, and we didn't rest much on the way, if you want to talk, go to the pavilion in front of you and have a good chat, how about it?" ”
An Zhe was actually afraid that Yan Wuling would feel tired, but considering her temperament, he was afraid that if he said it bluntly, he would make the other party feel that he looked down on her.
The three of them walked forward for a while, came to a pavilion, sat down, and then continued. Anyuan's little maid changed into new tea next to her and poured a cup of tea for the three of them to quench their thirst.
"An Yuan, if you have anything to say, just say it, look at your excited appearance, you can't hide it." Yan Wuling raised his eyes and looked at An Yuan, his eyes were encouraging and affirmative. She knows that An Yuan doesn't have any bad intentions, sometimes he is childish, and he is quite cute.
"Hehe, it's still Sister Wuling who is empathetic." An Yuan pursed his mouth, smiled shyly, and shook the hair in his ear, and then said: "We you," her big dark eyes looked between the two, "You went back to the palace this time, did you come to pick me up, after I left, do you know how monotonous life is when there is no me by your side?" ”
"Poof." An Zhe couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" An Yuan pouted and said dissatisfied.
Yan Wuling touched her head, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled, and said, "An Yuan, I'm afraid this will disappoint you, we came back this time, not to take you out, we came back for another purpose." Speaking of business, Yan Wuling's eyes were slightly solemn, and An Yuan didn't dare to mess around when he saw this.
Sometimes An Yuan is also very strange, she doesn't understand, how can Yan Wuling's sweet appearance have such oppressive eyes. When she laughs and speaks gently, she is more agile and vivid than all the eldest ladies she has ever seen. That look, I really don't know how many sons and buddies are falling for it.
"What's that for?" An Yuan asked.
Yan Wuling looked at An Zhe, An Zhe and her would have a very tacit understanding, a look passed over, Yan Wuling continued, and brought the matter of the treasure village and the discovery of the two of them together.
Yan Wuling's voice was very beautiful, and when she talked about things, she was also very organized, An Yuan immediately understood the cause and effect, she nodded, indicating that she understood the difficulties of the two, so she said: "Okay, I didn't force you to take me out, in fact, it is already a surprise that you can come back, and don't you want to stay in the palace for a while, I am already very happy that you can accompany me during this time." An Yuan's words were very simple, but they were also very sincere.
Time passed quickly and unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the sun hung high above the city wall, and two more people entered the palace, namely Changyin and Hongyan.
Changyin and Hongyan are not inefficient, they don't drag mud and water, they do things neatly, the two of them entered the palace and went directly to An Zhe and Yan Wuling.
The two of them found An Zhe and Yan Wuling, and reported the information they found truthfully one by one.
"What are you all investigating?" Yan Wuling asked. Hongyan glanced at Changyin and decided to let Changyin speak, so Changyin said: "I learned from the treasure in the mouth of the soldier that the former official Li Mao was honest and honest on the surface, but in fact it was just a layer of clumsy disguise, which was not his true face. ”
Yan Wuling and An Zhe glanced at each other, and they both had some guesses in their hearts at the moment. As officials, since ancient times, there are few innocent people, most of them do some shady things behind their backs, and be a wolf in sheep's clothing, so as not to leave a reputation for eternity, and they will live more comfortably.
"Go on." Yan Wuling gestured.
"Li Mao has actually been doing some unexplained things, and the most obvious of them is his close relationship with the Xuanjing Academy in Taiyuan City. The soldiers only obeyed the order, and until Li Mao's death, the safety of the soldiers was no longer guaranteed. Changyin looked at Yan Wuling, reporting word by word, not daring to be negligent in half a sentence.
Yan Wuling and An Zhe listened, but neither spoke, as if they were thinking about something.
At this time, Hongyan continued: "Later, Changyin and I learned that in fact, there was nothing unusual on the night they disappeared, only the screams of the yellow warbler. ”
"Yellow Warbler?" An Zhe frowned, but he didn't expect that the clues were looking for clues and ran to Huang Ying again.
"It's really unexpected," Yan Wuling raised her head, looked at the endless sky outside the towering walls of the palace, her eyes seemed to drift far away, and said, "Since that's the case, then we have to..."
An Zhe didn't hesitate: "I had to go and explore Xuanjing Academy." ”
